Abstract: Deformations of the peripherial map for knot complements
Abstract: The space of representations of the fundamental group
of a 3-manifold M into has played an important role
in the study of 3-manifolds. If is the complement of a
knot in the 3-sphere, then there is a map given by
restricting representations to the boundary. There is a natural
deformation of the space depending on two complex
parameters which comes from a "double affine Hecke algebra." We will
discuss some background and then describe a conjecture that the map
has a canonical deformation to a map . (This is joint work with Yuri Berest.)
